The mission of OLLI Corps is to provide service-oriented, educational travel opportunities for Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) members through collaboration, connection, and community.
OLLI Corps is a service-driven educational travel experience inspired by the six primary service areas of the Peace Corps:
1. Agriculture
2. Community Economic Development
3. Education
4. Environment
5. Health
6. Youth in Development
Each OLLI Corps trip focuses on one or more of these service areas.
OLLI Corps started in 2018 as a collaborative Peace Corps-inspired travel company founded by ASU faculty, OLLI at ASU staff, and Returned Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCV).
OLLI Corps is a member-centric entity that upholds integrity, transparency, and equity as basic rights of collaboration and partnership. All members of OLLI Corps must be ages 50+ and enrolled in an OLLI.
Members of OLLI Corps will discover expanded perspectives and purpose as they deeply connect with communities outside the United States, and will have opportunities to share those insights with their local community.
